State Tournament 2026 Top Teams-Division 1/Region 4

Archbishop Moeller (17-5)- The Crusaders have been more human this year than previous years. 3 of their 5 losses came outside Ohio and Big Moe has taken care of business in the GCL South. Freshman Jayden Davis has given the Crusaders optimism for the future as they look to challenge this year. A District Final with Huber Heights Wayne could test Moeller’s defense.

Cincinnati Princeton (19-3)- The Vikings finished as Cincinnati’s 2nd best team this year. Currently riding a 4-game win streak, Princeton has beaten the likes of Lima Senior, Trotwood-Madison, Olentangy Orange and Indianapolis Cathedral (IN) and have one of the better resumes in Ohio. Sophomore Kam Mercer transferred in from Overtime Elite and has given the Vikings a 1-2 punch with him and A’Mire Gill. 

Cincinnati St. Xavier (15-6)- After losing a very talented 2025 class, St. X has regrouped and gotten back to their low-scoring defensive style of play that gives opposing teams fits. Liam McGeady headlines this group along with John Veith to give the Bombers plenty of size and upperclassmen.

Mason (15-7)- The Comets have overachieved with a new coach and found themselves in a great position to win a District title this year. If they can defeat Lakota East and Oak Hills, Mason will have a chance to bring their tenacious defense into a Regional with several familiar opponents potentially waiting.
